History
Sardis Dam was the first of the Yazoo River headwaters projects to be built by the federal government for flood control. Authorization for the project came when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Flood Control Act of 1936. Construction took four years and required thousands of men to clear along the Tallahatchie River, which was characterized by dense woods and undergrowth, and meandering sloughs. ==Marina==
